House Republicans Ready Bill for 400,000 Charlie Kirk Commemorative Silver Dollars

The proposal directs Treasury to issue 2026 legal-tender coins with his portrait plus a six-word biblical inscription.

Overview

  • Reps. August Pfluger and Abe Hamadeh say they will file the Charlie Kirk Commemorative Coin Act this week; as of Thursday, the bill was not listed on Congress’ website.
  • The plan calls for no more than 400,000 silver dollar coins bearing Kirk’s image, his full name, and the year 2026.
  • Draft language specifies the reverse would read “Well done, good and faithful servant,” with standard U.S. inscriptions also included.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent would select the final design in consultation with President Donald Trump, and the coins would be legal tender.
  • Backers cite Congress’ long use of commemorative coins and say passage would make Kirk, 31, the youngest American on U.S. currency, as broader GOP memorial efforts continue alongside the Utah murder case.
